Parish and Family Life

We would like to begin a Parish Life group! The more people we can get involved, the more social opportunities we could have here at our Parish! In the past, Parish Life ran events such as the beef & beers and the SMM carnival & festival.

We are looking for people to organize and oversee parish events. If interested, please email Lisa Borgia, Parish Office Coordinator, or call 652-6800 ext. 114.

We will be celebrating Children’s Liturgy every Sunday at the 9AM mass during the school year. After the opening prayer, children are invited to come forward, receive the Word of God as adapted for children, and go down to the hall, where volunteers read the word, a reflection is given, the psalm is sung, and children return to the Mass upstairs for the Communion rite.

We are in need of volunteers, both children and adults. Families who are able to act as weekly leaders would be greatly appreciated! We are also in need of readers, musicians, and guest speakers. Please contact Georgette Minnick at 529-0288 with questions or to volunteer to help, please see Children's Liturgy Volunteer Form.
